Amy Butler Butterfly and a Jemmy Burrito!

Good evening, all! Hope you had a lovely weekend. Friday was Luis' and my mom's birthdays so on Saturday night we went to a fantastic restaurant and had one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Super yummy stuff! Luis spent most of the weekend playing with his birthday present (tools for Mr. Carpenterman) and I did a bunch of sorting and tidying in the Craft Cave. I have a huge bag of stuff that I'm giving to my friend who's a teacher - I think she'll be able to make good use of it. :)

As you can see I used up some more patterned paper for today's card. It's stuff I've had for ages too - Amy Butler for K & Co. Yeah, I had to blow the dust off of it first! The card is for the CASE Study challenge. After Jen Rzasa's stint ended I promised myself I'd still play along even if the next muse wasn't quite as CAS. Don't get me wrong - I find these shabby/vintage cards beautiful but I'm just not so good at pulling them off myself. So I focused on the colours, the butterflies and the banner and came up with something a little more me. I'm also going to enter this over at Lily Pad's patterned paper challenge.

I thought I'd share a couple of photos of Jem who apparently was a little chilly the other morning! I don't know why I bother to make the bed because Jem rolls himself up like a burrito and completely undoes it all!

that's hilarious, not the card (that's so sweet and definitely more my style than the CASE, i like space and less stuff!) love how you can't even make out jem is a dog in the bed, are you sure it's not luis in there ;)

That dawg of yours sure knows which side his bread is buttered!!! Lol - good job they don't both do it or you'd lose your bed :0)Love the card, much more my style than the CASE too...love your take on it :0)Jenny x

I'll just chime in with my agreement on the beauty of your CASed CASE -- I'm like you, though, in that I admire shabby/chic or vintage-style cards, I just can't seem to pull them off! Love the patterned paper butterfly.What we let our pets do! My cat is currently fast asleep on our bed... on MY pillow! :D

I'm with you Jen, LOVE the shabby look, but struggle to do it... so I just enjoy everyone elses.Your CAS take on the inpsiration is fabulous & such great use of those never ending DP's!Love your cute dog!

Jem & Abby are soul mates - Abby sleeps completely under the covers, usually with her head resting on my rear end :) Brave little dog, lol.I love how you CASified (it's a word now, shhh) the CASE card - love the colours you went with, and yay! for using up old stuff. It always makes me feel virtuous, anyhow!

LOL, I had no idea what to expect when I read that title but I do love your card and Jem is so cute all rolled up in the blankets! When Chris had a ferret, he would roll Hobbes up in a fleece and call him crunchy ferret roll. :P

The photo of your pup cracks me up because I know good and well that my dogs do the same thing. The blue patterned paper is so pretty. I am with you about the shabby chic cards that is why I stick to CAS! LOL!

Great CAS take on the inspiration! Love those Amy Butler patterns:) And good on you for staying with CASE Study! I made myself the same promise, but my one idea for this week didn't pan out (good in my head, really lame in real life).

I'm rather late making the rounds - my life exploded - :~D Love these - especially the little one - what wonderful details! Thank you so much for playing and sharing at the Lily Pad!. Hugs & Blessings....
